Design for Liberty Art Fabrics

Liberty London have launched their New Season of Liberty Art Fabrics.

Wild Flowers by Su Blackwell is a recollection of early childhood
journeys across the British landscape in discovery of native flora. This
joyous Liberty fabric was initially inspired by illustrations from an early 19th Century book, 'Field Guide to Wild Flowers in Britain'.

I got out my trusted Bernina sewing machine, and made the cushions (below). The dress (modelled by my daughter 'Miki') was made by a friend.
